Seedy Saturday expands from Langley to Aldergrove

Seedy Saturday, the annual seed swap, sale and sharing of gardening tips, is expanding to Aldergrove Community Gardens this year.

After the March 23rd event at Derek Doubleday Arboretum, Langley Environment Partners (LEPS) will hold a smaller version at the Aldergrove location on the following Saturday, March 30th.

Amanda Smith, LEPS agricultural program coordinator said the Langley event will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. while the Aldergrove event will be held the week after from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

“So it’s a shorter one,” Smith summarized.

“It’s a smaller event. Mostly the Aldergrove event will be having a seed swap and also just a small workshop.”

More than 100 Seedy Saturday events take place across the country, enabling local seed exchanges, and educating the public about seed saving and environmentally sustainable garden practices.
